Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

Fiske o[ Fritzoe, Larvik , Norway. H e ·was l';uticularly impres d with the [a t: that all .American have the privilege of enjoying our high tand­arcl of living, Lhat everyone may vjsit and buy from our tremendou superrnark e ts where all kind of food is a. ai lable to all peopk. H e especia lly comJnented on the quantit.,ie of canned goods, packaged goods, as cake mixes and sud1, our froz en food · and fresh vegetables and fruits in all season ·. A Norweg·ian house"'·~ife, he said, would feel that she had gone to h eaven if she coulc;l walk into one of these supcnnarke ts, because there· has been uch a sh ortage of these foods in · orway since the war. Amazed by the Cars He al o was amazed at the great number of cars ­that practically every family has a car and that even many klu siness women own and drive their own cars. In hi.s country only hjgh executives or very wea1thy p eople can afford to ha e one of the e expen si e luxuri es. T he blatant signs of "Sales" !n all the stores, on all the s ta~e windows, _and in all the new paper·, were par­tlc; ulaxly ul'lusual because he was not used to such a qua:rou:ity of mate1·ial of any kind. . Our foo~s are not too different from the Norwegia~1 foods, h:e satd. vVe have more fresh vegetables and of course a gr ater varie ty. Our sandwjches are n ew to Mr; Fiske as are our. pies. He is especially fond of che:rry and rhubarb pies, so much so that h e is taking rec1 pes home for these to his wife. . A Hope for Western Europe Our sys tem of free enterprise and the tremei1dous rnarket within our Dwn ec> untry which acts as an incenti ve :fo·r our free eruerprise particularly impressed Mr. F i ·ke. He express.ed the hope t~la.t Wes tern E urope can develop as gr~a t a Fr e Enterpnse. He a lso hopes that stronger pu bhc and i~dustrial relation may be developed be­tween the.

Therefore, if waob ·es continue at the present high rate, there seems to be oply one o t two courses to pursue - raise the price of goods, or increase the productivity per employee .. increased wages without i.r creased production usually means increased cost of living fo:r everyuody . The manu­facturer. hesitates to increase 'the prjce ot his product because if he does the public will _ buy less. If a worker insists on highe wages and produce so scantily that his employer is not ab1e to make a profit which will justify staying jn busines , b e will do e shop. So would yo u.
